Wedding Gown: Here I Come!

I'm serious about fitting into a wedding gown that is both elegant and delicious. I don't know what it looks like yet, but the wedding dress is an important element in my "dream wedding". And why shouldn't it be? This is the last wedding I'm ever going to have! So I want to be sure to do it right!

I've got 429 days or so till The Big Day so I think it is all do-able. (OK, I'm a bit nervous about all that we need to do around the house and grounds before inviting wedding guests to our humble abode but hey, we'll get there.)

So I'm trying out the HCG Diet. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, it is a protocol that should "re-set" my hypothalamus gland (the Big Boss of hormones and fat storage decisions) back to what a "normal" (weight-wise, I make no claims about anyone's mental sate, least of all, mine!)person would have.

It involves homeopathic drops, two "fat-loading" days and a very low calorie lean protein and vegetable and fruit diet. The drops assist the body in burning stored fat so the actual caloric "burning" is not all that low and the weight is lost rapidly. (to the tune of averaging a pound a day.)

Now, I know that sounds extreme and frankly, only 60-70% of people who embark on this system are able to keep the weight off that they have lost. The "re-entry" to normal eating is an extremely crucial part of the program and apparently mismanaged by some people with unfortunate results.

I am following the YourHCG.com protocol because they are using the original 1954 method discovered by a Dr. Simeon and found to be extremely effective for many people.

I'm going to give it a 45-60 day shot and see how it is for me. I'll keep you posted!
